Absolutely superb video. Thanks for posting. So much detail!

They’re being very specific with the language, calling them “narco-terrorists”.

What the FUCK!

Eventually it will influence consumer electronics.

It already has and in a big way. I saw one comment on a Jeff Geerling video saying they had bought 96G of DDR5 RAM a year ago for $205 and that it was well over $600 now.

Oh yeah. Sure they’re already minted. Set for life.

Ah you say that, but I lived through the internet bubble. Jeez it was gruesome and then 9/11 hit the next year. Savage times.

Unless it’s considered a national security issue, which it might be, they’re getting fucked without the lube.

I deeply, genuinely, hope that the AI bubble bursts and they get fucked. It’s just so short sighted to not hold on to the safety rope.

The honorific would’ve probably been “my Chancellor” if it had been about his political authority

In his case it was very much meant as dictator.

There was debate after Hindenburg died and he took his powers with the plebiscite (as well as chancellor) about what his title should be. He didn’t want to harken back to Kaiser per the previous Reich so they went with Fuhrer.

It had been used within the party before that but came into common usage as his title at that time.

I’m in the thick of a 90 hour audiobook trilogy on the third Reich which is absolutely incredible (link) and Fuhrer is used liberally, partly to describe his ascent to absolute dictator as opposed to just Reich’s Chancellor.

I’m not defending shitopedia for one second! I’m just not sure it’s as outrageous as other shit that’s taking up our limited attention span at the moment is all.

Yeah I fully agree with this. I am thick in the middle of “Third Reich Trilogy” which gives an enormous amount of context to the word though.

If they changed it, it’s further evidence of scummy behaviour, but on its own it’s not a huge red flag for me with historical context.

Can’t recommend the books enough if you’re into that. The lad must have spent half his life in primary sources.

Thanks so much. I thought that would be the case but I wondered around things like “team leader” or “band leader” or whatever.

My guess was that it was forever tainted so I appreciate the context.

I mean the whole stupid Grokipedia thing is a shit show that will never take off, but Fuhrer is just “leader” in German. In it’s used context for Hitler it straight up means dictator and (iirc) only came into full on use after the plebiscite giving him full dictatorial power after Hindenburg’s death in 1934 (edit: He was already the Reich’s Chancellor and merged in Hindenburg’s powers with the vote to make himself full dictator / Fuhrer).

I’d welcome input from a German national - Is the word still used there?

Damn. It really is.

edit: I stopped scrolling at 100 posts and they were all “Flaired Users Only”

Not sure if it’s a colloquialism but “going ballistic” where I live means being really angry.

Looks good and I love that it is offline without ads and trackers.

It’s something I would definitely consider installing for my mum with the caveat that I’d like to see the source published.

Spot on.

I think that’s just idiocy.

Mmmm. You’re taking “company spokesperson” at face value there.

Let’s be real though, a meeting of highly paid, highly skilled people came up with that response then it was sanitised through three more filters before reaching our eyes.

That’s OK. You’re doing the best you can. Try to go easy on yourself.

That is one of the core tenets of fascism though. Simple sound bites for simple people. Repeat until absorbed.
